Greetings. Apparently bowing to pressure from right-wing groups who feared an "unfair" portrayal of their hero, CBS today announced that they were exiling their new miniseries on ex-President Ronald Reagan to the limited viewership of their sister pay-cable network Showtime.

There's obvious irony in this decision to keep the production off of CBS. Just a few days ago, at CBS' 75th Anniversary gala, attendees chuckled as Tom and Dick Smothers reminded us of the cancellation of their Vietnam War-era variety show by CBS decades ago due to political content. It appears that little has changed in that regard at CBS.

If right-wing factions were really so concerned about television programming that was unbalanced, you'd think they'd be clamouring for changes at say, Fox News. Nawww...
